      Hugo Lloris reveals brutal Ange Postecoglou conversation that ended his Tottenham career on the spot

      by

      HUGO LLORIS has opened up on the brutal circumstances surrounding his Spurs exit.The former France and Tottenham captain said that a conversation with Ange Postecoglou had left him feeling “transparent” at the club.Lloris has revealed the brutal conversation he had with Ange Postecoglou before leavingCredit: ReutersLloris spent 11 years at Tottenham before leaving to join LAFC in December last year.Last season, he was replaced as Spurs no1 by Guglielmo Vicario and didn’t feature in a single matchday squad for Spurs.Speaking about the circumstances leading to his exit, Lloris told Le Parisien: “It was a combination of several factors: the team was lacking results and the coach [Antonio Conte], was under pressure, was losing patience. Therefore, the group dynamic was negative.”Tottenham were coming to the end of a cycle, and so was I. I knew that Tottenham wanted to recruit younger players, especially in my position. Summer was approaching and I was no longer part of the plans.READ MORE ON FOOTBALL”When the championship resumed, in August 2023, the coach [Postecoglou] informed me that I would no longer enter the field, that I would only be a training player. I was pushed aside, I had become transparent.”Lloris played his last game for Spurs in April 2023 when they were demolished 6-1 by Newcastle.The Magpies were 5-0 up at half-time which led to Lloris being substituted – although it later emerged that was because of a hip injury.Speaking on his time out the team, Lloris continued: “Those eight months without playing were complicated. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”Since I’ve been playing football – and I started at the age of six – I’ve been thinking about the upcoming match, planning for the next goal. “When all this collapses, we no longer know how to make sense of physical effort: why hurt ourselves? Why push yourself to come back?Meet the ten Wags ready to stun at Euro 2024″However, I was not unhappy. I took the opportunity to spend more time with my family and it did me good. “I was able to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday and go see my brother play in Le Havre, against PSG. It would have been impossible if I had been on a team sheet at Tottenham.”One day, I know, football will stop for me. I will perhaps miss the adrenaline, because it is a drug, but I am not afraid of this ‘little death’ as they call it in the sporting world. There is an afterlife, and I can’t wait to know it too.”Lloris played 447 times for Spurs between 2012 and 2023, since moving to LAFC, he has played 15 times for the MLS side. More
